Helen and I were in London for the pasge few days, and this morning we headed over to the Science Museum to see the new Space Wing.

If you've been before - everything on the left hasn't changed at all - and on the right things are mainly the same - the LEM model has had a good makeover, looks MUCH better now. The Apollo 10 CM is still way up the far end of the ground floor - why didn't they put it with the LEM!!!! But the good news is that there are 1:1 models of Beagle 2, Topsat and Huygens, and 4 CCD's from E2V ( the UK company who make a fair few CCD's for flight )
